NASHVILLE MARKET REPORT.

Corrected from the Nashville american
every Thursday evening.
The general market was characteriz-
ed by a fairly active trade to-day and
pretty well distributed through the
different departments. Dry goods,
boots and shoes, groceries, iron, ETC.,
were quite busy, while at the same
time other branches of the general
trade had no cause for complaints.
Collections are good, in fact, fully
commensurate with the'value of dis
tributions, and at the same time
easier than they have been this sea-
son of the year for decade or more.
In the rural districts currency is
growing scarce as the season advan-
ces and its want will soon begin to
show itself in remittances. This is
particularly true of the districts in
which cotton is made the chief crop.
Planters having realized from the
staple, and paid out the bulk of re-
turns, are feeling the necessity of
more ready cash. This is not the
case, however, so much in the sec
tons raising tobacco. Here the
planters are just beginning to realize
from their crop, and from now on un-
til the plant is marketed money will
be plentiful in those localities.
The provision market maintains q
strong feeling and will most likely
show further advances within the
next few days.

If the coming drill be not as large in
numbers as the review, it will far ex-
eel it in the variety aud brightness Of
the uniforms worn. Already appli-
cations are coming in to the hotels by
prospective spectators for rooms. The
soldiers will encamp on the large ex-
panSe of grounds south Of the Execu-
tive Mansion and west of the Capitol,
and overlooking the beautiful Poto-
mac into old Virginia. Washington
is in the height Of its beauty in May,
and the soldier boys will have most
delightful time in their raid upon the
Capitol of their country.

The National Drill.

These are busy days in Washing
ton, Congress is hurrying through
with its business, and the citizens are
busy making ready for the great Ma
tional Drill to be held here in the
coming May. Most of the States
have notified the officers in charge of
the enterprise that they will send
troops. On Thursday the adiutant
general ofthe State of Kentucky was
here completing arrangements for
the Kentucky troops. He states that
all the State troops would come,
among them being battalion Of
artillery. 1t will be the biggest show
that the city has had for many year,
and will Outrival the famous review
Of the Army of Virginia held at the

houses was unoccupied and was set on

furniture was saved. The loss, about
5000, is fully covered by insurance.
Miss Blanche Evans, young lady
about twenty years of age, residing
at $50 Washington street, was burned
to death last night. 1t was another

Is It Reasonable ?

The Petersburg Indcc-AppGal quotes
from Washington letter in the Alex
andria gazette the following
"A man OF affairs from the North
here to- day, who has large investments
in the South, says that had it not been
for Virginia's unfortunate action re-
garding her public debt, great deal OF
the northern and foreign capital that
has been invested in other southern
States would not have gone farther
South than Virginia, and would have
stopped there"
And then adds:
"Will the Dispatch and sundry and
divers other papers and people in this
State please paste this paragraph where
it will meet their eyes at least once
every twenty-four hours?"
There is not a businessman in Vir-
ginia who does not know that the state
ment made by the "man of affairs
from the North" is without founda-
ton. We have more than once re-
ferTed to facts which totally disprove
it. We again print and call attention
to the following statement showing how
other States than Virginia have settled
their debts without losing cast among
the brokers and politicians Of the
United States:

CAUGHT BY THE PORK BULGE.
Two small Firms mud Number OF
Bucket-ShOps in Trouble.

A Chicago special says The recent
bulge in pork, which has caught the
bucket-shOps so disastrously, swamped
two small Bonrd-of-Trade firms to-day.
L. S. Rowland, who does a commission
business and has an Office in the I'm
perial building, found it necessary tO
close all his trades, rs he was unable TO
meet his differences with the Clearing
House. Mr.. Rowland estimates his La
bilities at about s., 900. c. ". Buckley,
who also has an office in the Imperial
building, was not compelled to yield to
the pressure. but it is not thought his
liabilities will 90 very far out of the
hundreds. The city bucket-shops al
most without exception have been very
severely affected by the recent bull
movement of the market. James A.
Murphy, the Administered bucket-shop
man, is said to have been cleaned ont
OF about $4,000, and the Imperial
Grain and Stock Exchange is under
stood to have been badly hurt by
the pork squeeze. Mr.. Wells, who
runs small bucket-shop concern
on Van Buren, street, close to
tire Board OF Trade, is another of
the victims. Ee was caught on pork.
as were his neighbours, and had to shut
down for four or five days. Gus"
Nohe, the man who used to be such
thorn in the side of the Board-of- Trade
Market Committee, and whose know
ledge of telegraphy gained him credit
for most Of the overlapping around the
precincts of the Board, is also reported
TO have succumbed to the inevitable.
The Commerce building in Pacific
avenue is understood to belong to the
Peabody Pope-Loring syndicate, and
rumors were ahoat to-day that if the
present bull market continues it will
soon be plastered over with mort
cages. II. p. Peabody, one OF the
pioneer bucket-shop men of Chicago,
ard the leading stakeholder in the Me-
tropolitan Grain and Stock Exchange.
in the Palmer House building, has sold
ont his interest to Lawyer A. Good
rich. Mr.. Peabody, who has cleared
some millions out of the shop, is in i'll
health, and proposes TO travel in Eu-
rope. MIR. Goodrich has organized
ioint-stock company, with himself, his
brother, and Louis Lloyd, an adver-
Using agent, as incorporators.

womnn.s wnnarous p,neu

A case of extraordinary pluck upon
the part of a woman occurred at the
jefferson Medical College, PhiladeI-
phia, recently. The lady applied to
have tumor removed from her arm.
The physicians decided to have the
operation performed in the presence OF
the students, and VIII n the hour for the
clinic arrived the lady was invited into
the amphitheatre. The doctors told
her that they would have to administer
ether, as the operation would prove so
very painful. She refused to allow this
to be done, and then the physicians
tried to induce her TO take glass of
brandy, which she likewise refused.
They next offered her glass OF wine.
but the lady simply waved it away, say
ing that she would be able TO undergo
the operation.

it shall not be a law"
The New York Constitution reads as
follows
"if any bill shall not be returned by
the Governor within ten days Sundays
excepted after it shall have been pre-
sontcd to him the same shall be a law
in Ike manner as if he had signed it,
